"FOOTBALL MUST GO,”
STOP THE DEADLY GAME
W. the Georgia New papers Are Say
ing on the Sub! ct.
DENUNCIATION OF BRUTAL GAME
•‘Outlaw the Game” Says the Atlanta
Commercial-Athens Banner’s |Pro
test--Savannah News On It.
The newspapers of Georgia are de
manding that footbill shall he pro
hibited in the state. The editorial
utterances are very emphatic on the
subject. Below we publish some of
the expressions:
Outlaw the Game.
(Atlanta Commercial).
The Commercial inveighed against
the brutality of football more than a
year ago, and called for the prohibition
of the game by legislative enactment.
The game Saturday clearly empha
sizes the necessity for the legislation
we called for a year ago, and now
even the sporting element is denounc
ing it as more brutal and demoraliz
ing than the prize ring and bull
fights.
This legislature should pass a rigid
ly prohibitory bill. It will not do for
our boys to be maimed and killed in
this fashion, as was the case Saturday.
The state should not give its sup
port to any institution that allows it,
and a law should be passed that will
punish severely those who engage in
it.
Young Gammon was worth all the
sports that were ever instituted, and
hisdeath has put the whole state to
thinking.
Besides boys are sent to college to be
equipped for better work than engag
ing in physical powers and learning
to carry on conversation as to the
best full back and center rush
on the gridiron.
The whole thing is a reflection on
civilization and higher education, and
should be stopped.
Football In Georgia.
(Columbus Enquirer).
Football in Georgia yesterday re
ceived the hardest knock in all its
history. The fatal injuries sustained
by Mr. Gammon, the Georgia player
will probably result in the legislature
passing a law placing such restrictions
upon the game as to drive it from the
state. '
Such action by the legislature would
be hailed with delight by thousands
in Georgia, who believe that the game
is too brutal and should be prevented.
It does indeed appear to be the aim
of the players to make the struggle
as fierce and dangerous as possible,
and.no man can look upon it without
the ever present fear that any mo
ment some luckless feliow may be
dragged off the field maimed for life
or dead.
The state will lose nothing in the
loss of the game; and it is better that
football be forever driven from Geor
gia than that a repetition of the sad
incident of yesterday occur.
Inhuman Sport.
(Athens banner),
The claim is made that athletics
have had a great deal to do with the.
recent progress made by the Univer
sity of Georgia. That may be true,
but from that prosperity that builds
itself upon the constant endangering
of life and the maiming and killing of
young men may the good Lord de
liver the University of Georgia. We
do not hesitate to say that unless such
inhuman sport is promptly throttled
at the university we will deem it our
duty to advise all parents in the state
of Georgia to send their sons to col
leges where such sport is not encour
aged, and in this position the people
of Georgia will uphold us.
The development of the physical
man is greatly to be desired, but not
at such cost at this. The life of one
man is worth more than all the foot
ball contests this world ever saw, and

the pigskin might as well be laid
away on the university campus.
Now, there is the issue of football
at the university; the faculty can pur
sue either course it wished, but the
end will be the same. Football at
the university must go.
Football and Prize Fighting.
(Savannah News).
Prize fighting is prohibited in every
state in the union, and is condemned
by the whole civilized world, because
of its brutality. Is it more brutal
than the game of football has become?
Every football season furnishes a
long list of dead and damaged football
players. Last week in one of the
northern states, a young fellow was
killed in a football game, and on Sat
urday, at Atlanta, in the football
game between the team of the Uni
versity of Georgia and that of the
University of Virginia, two members
of the Georgia team were injured, one
of them fatally.
If those who make the rules of this
game do not amend them so as to
make the game less dangerous, the
egislatures of the different states
should take hold of the matter and
make the game unlawful. It might
be a wise thing for our legislature to
do-to prohibit tba game in the state
without waiting for the rules to be
amended. We are sure that such
legislation would meet the approval
of a majority of parents who have
sons at the state university, and the
colleges and other schools.
Stop It By Law.
(AtlAtr a Journal).
The bright and promising young
man who received his death blow in
the game at Brisbine park last Sat
urday is not the first football victim
of the present season, and the season
has just fairly begun. In addition to
the deaths which have resulted from
football there have been already this
season many serious injuries inflicted
upon participants in this perilous
game. Only a few days before the
Georgia team came to Atlanta to play
Virginia one of its members had bis
collar bone broken in a practice game.
A Pennsylvania student bad an eye
put out in a game a few years ago and
and there have been many other cas
ualties.
Soon after young Gammon was fa
tally wounded another Georgia play
er was taken from the field delirious
from the effects of a collision with his
opponents.
We have often heard of reforms in
football which are to remove its ob
jectionable and dangerous features,
but the game has steadily become
more and more dangerous every sea
son.
Such a clash as that which killed
young Gammon is liable to occur in
every game of football. It is high
time to put a stop in Georgia to such
so-called sport.
We have no doubt that the faculty
of the University of Georgia will at
once prohibit football and that the
trustees will endorse their action. In
deed it is not probable that the Uni
versity of Georgia team if left free to
act would enter the field again. Same
of its members realize the inevitable
dangers of the game and have re
solved to give it up.
But the state should by statute de
clare against this game Missouri has
has already done so and there is an
anti-football bill pending in Kansas
with good prospects of passage. The
feeling against football in other states
is strong and growing stronger. But
whatever other states may do Geor
gia should at once prohibit football
games.

RAIN AT FORT HILI..
Sexton Weeks Says it Has Been Incessant
More Than Five Years.
And now comes Mr. B. P. Weeks sex
ton of Fort Hill cemetery, who says
that Sexton Hall of Rose Hill and Sex

with him when it comes to having rain
out of a clear sky, says the Macon Tele
graph.
Mr. Weeks says he has been sexton of
Fort Hill cemetery for five years and
that the rain has been falling there in
cessantly all this time He further states
that there is only one tree in Fort Hill
cemetery and that is a hickory tree. The
rain falls all over the cemetery, but not
outside and is more copious than at
either of the other cemeteries. Mr.
Weeks is amen whose word is unques

Anderson and Weeks met by accident
at Undertaker Keating’s office and they
compared notes on rain, with the result
that Mr. Weeks invited the other sex
tons over to see the rain in his cemetery.
Mr. Weeks told Dr. Hall that he had
been to see the rain at Rose Hill, but
that it was nothing to compare with the
extent of the rain at Fort Hill.
Mr. Weeks says the cemetery Is open
at all times for any one who so desires
to go there and see the rain for them
selves as it falls from a clear sky. He
found the rain falling when he went
there five years ago, but thought noth
ing of it, as he presumed everybody
knew about it, but since the rain in Rose
Hill and Riverside has been discovered
and created a sensation it has reminded
him of the rain in Fort tiill.

Dining Hall Suggested By Dr. Boggs.
In this connection it may be said that
at one time there was a rude attempt at
gymnastic exercises in the university, but
the old building has long since been
abandoned. Chanceller Boggs, who is
much interested in establishing a dining
hall upon the grounds, believes that if
this building were repaired it could be
used for that purpose. On the co-oper
ation plan students could be housed and
fed on $7 a month. This great reduc
tion in the expense of attending the
university would double the number of
students within two years without over
working the faculty.
‘‘l shall draw the attention of the
legislature to the subject,” said the
chancellor, “and present the full details
of the scheme. ”

STATE AGENT
Recommendation to Be Made Whereby
State ean Save Money.
An effort will likely be made by the
legislature to change the manner of
purchasing supplies for the state.
This is foreshadowed in. the govern
or’s message which recommends the
appointment of a purchasing agent.
Along this line the message says:
“That the state can make a large
saving by advertising for bids on
every contract to be awarded, has
been demonstrated by the low prices
at which the Georgia reports and the
code were published, the decreased
cost at which contracts were let for
improvements to the public property,
and the reduction in the price at
which stationery was secured, on
competitive bids.
“The Saving upon these and other
items is ample proof that this is the
economic method for the state to adopt
in making purchases and in letting
contracts. ”
